Space Fighter v0.5 now available
http://www.anonymoustipster.com/DownloadSpaceFighter.php
This game is in the same top-down style of asteroids, but pits 4 players (or AI) against each other. Compete in deathmatch game modes, king of the hill, capture the flag, or avoid asteroids for as long as possible in Asteroids TT mode.
Firstly, thanks to Werther Azevedo for the GUI Design / 2D GFX and to Infamous for the Music and SFX. Great work from both of them.
This is in fact my first real release on RetroRemakes and is somewhat of a beta, as I've only tested it on a handful of computers. I'd appreciate it if people could try out the game and make sure it runs ok; I need to make sure it runs on most people's computers. If you can tell me if it runs, and if all the possible resolutions in the options menu work fullscreen (you'll need to restart the game), that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks, feedback appreciated.
